How can simply creating a sect make you invincible?

The auction hall was packed with people, with every seat filled. People from various powerful factions were present, many of whom were visiting the Myriad Laws Sect and taking the opportunity to participate in the auction.

At this moment, a female auctioneer slowly walked out from the central platform. She cleared her throat and announced in a clear voice, "Distinguished guests, today is the first auction held by Tianbao Pavilion in Wanfa City. For this occasion, we have specially prepared many rare items, hoping that everyone will be able to acquire their desired pieces. A friendly reminder: the items you win can be used safely within Wanfa City; no one in Wanfa City will dare to cause trouble here. Now, I declare the auction officially open!"

Now, let's welcome our first item for auction.

A maid carrying a tray then walked out from backstage.

A red cloth covered the tray, and as the maid unveiled it, a jade pendant emitting a faint glow was revealed to the crowd. The auctioneer immediately introduced it: "This is a Xuanjing Jade Pendant, a treasure passed down from ancient times. It possesses the miraculous effect of concentrating the mind and gathering energy, greatly benefiting cultivators in improving their cultivation. Its starting bid is ten thousand spirit stones!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than bidders eagerly began to place their offers. "Eleven thousand low-grade spirit stones!" "Twelve thousand low-grade spirit stones!" The bidding rose and fell, and soon someone shouted, "Fifteen thousand low-grade spirit stones!"

All eyes turned to the bidder, and many people looked surprised.

Just then, a slightly shrill voice rang out: "Sixteen thousand low-grade spirit stones!" The speaker was a disciple of the Dao Yi Holy Land, who gave the man who had made the earlier bid a provocative look.

The man frowned slightly, gritted his teeth, and shouted again, "Eighteen thousand low-grade spirit stones."

"Fine, you can have it!" said the disciple from Dao Yi Holy Land.

"Eighteen thousand low-grade spirit stones for the first bid, eighteen thousand low-grade spirit stones for the second bid. Is there any other distinguished guest who wishes to raise the price?" the auctioneer asked loudly.

"Sold for the third time, 18,000 low-grade spirit stones!"

"Sister Ruoxi, why do they still fight to buy such ordinary things?" Xiao Ningyun asked curiously.

Hua Ruoxi gently touched her forehead and explained, "Master Ning, many cultivators are short of cultivation resources. When they don't have enough spirit stones, they can only choose these slightly inferior items. The really good things are too expensive for them to afford."

"Oh, I understand."

"Next, please welcome our second item for today's auction." The red cloth was lifted, revealing a small jade bottle on the tray.

The auctioneer introduced, "The second item is a Rank 6 Breakthrough Pill. After consuming this pill, there is a 50% chance that it will help a cultivator break through from the peak of the Cave Ruins realm to the True Person realm. Its starting bid is 50,000 spirit stones."

"This is truly a wonderful item! I'll offer 55,000 low-grade spirit stones."

"You think you can take a Rank 6 Breakthrough Pill for 55,000? Are you kidding me? I'll offer 60,000 low-grade spirit stones!"

"I'll offer 65,000 low-grade spirit stones!"

However, the guests sitting in the private rooms on the second and third floors seemed uninterested, simply watching the fierce bidding below.

Soon, the sixth-grade breakthrough pill was successfully auctioned off to an elder of a second-rate sect for 90,000 low-grade spirit stones.

"Next, please welcome the third item for auction."

The third item was brought to the stage on a tray by a maid. After the red cloth was lifted, a long knife with an antique design was revealed.

The auctioneer introduced the sword: "This sword is called the Shattering Void Sword, and it was once a sacred artifact. Although it is damaged now, it can still unleash 60% of its original power. Its starting bid is 500,000 low-grade spirit stones."

"What? A sacred artifact? Even if it's damaged, it's still a sacred artifact! If it can be repaired, that would be a huge profit! I'll offer 600,000 low-grade spirit stones!"

"Hmph, what arrogance!" The speaker was an elder from the Tianyan Sect, his face showing a hint of disdain. "I'll offer 650,000 low-grade spirit stones!" All eyes immediately focused on him, and many people began to whisper and discuss among themselves.

The elder from Dao Yi Holy Land was not to be outdone, and announced loudly, "Seven hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones!"

The atmosphere inside the room suddenly became tense.

Just then, in VIP room number one on the third floor, Hua Ruoxi, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke, her voice clear and firm: "I will offer 800,000 low-grade spirit stones."

"Sister Ruoxi, why did you buy this broken sword? When we return to the sect, I will have Elder Cangli and Elder Cangzhi forge a more powerful sword for you!" Xiao Ningyun said, puzzled.

Watching from the side, Yue Lian Shuang thought to herself: This little ancestor is indeed rich and powerful!

"Master Ning, crafting magical artifacts within the sect requires contribution points, and I don't have that many. So I want to buy this Shattering Void Blade, take it back to the sect and ask the elders to try to repair it, and then leave it for Hundred Flowers Valley to use," Hua Ruoxi explained.

"Alright, I'll ask Elder Cang to help me repair this knife when I get back. I guarantee it won't cost any contribution points!" Xiao Ningyun said, patting her chest.

Hua Ruoxi was secretly delighted: It seems that pleasing this little ancestor was indeed a wise move. Within the sect, besides the sect leader, it seems that she has found a new way.

Everyone turned their attention to VIP Room No. 1 on the third floor, and even the people in the other private rooms on the second and third floors were no exception. They were all a little puzzled: the person who could sit in VIP Room No. 1 must have a very noble status, so why would he be interested in such a broken sacred artifact?

The elder from Dao Yi Holy Land gritted his teeth, seemingly weighing the pros and cons, and ultimately gave up on raising the price further.

"Eight hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones for the first time, eight hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones for the second time, eight hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones for the third time, sold!" The auctioneer brought down the gavel.

Not long after, the Shattering Void Blade was delivered to VIP Room Number One. After Hua Ruoxi paid the spirit stones, the blade officially became the property of Hundred Flowers Valley.

"Please welcome the fourth item..."

Two burly men carried a huge object onto the stage. The auctioneer unveiled the red cloth covering it and introduced, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is a piece of source stone that we discovered by chance in the Southern Region. We detected faint life fluctuations within the source stone, but we cannot determine exactly what they are. It could be a third or fourth-tier demonic beast, or even an eighth or ninth-tier demon king, or perhaps something even more powerful."

"The starting bid for this source stone is one million low-grade spirit stones."

At this moment, Lu Hou in Xiao Ningyun's arms suddenly became restless. It excitedly twisted its body and stared intently at the source stone below the stage, because it sensed the aura of its kind in it.

Seeing the little beast in her arms staring so excitedly at the large rock, Xiao Ningyun became interested as well. Her pupils suddenly changed, revealing double pupils, and Daoist principles flowed in her eyes. A terrifying power of law spread out, even slightly distorting the space in front of her. She stared intently at the source stone.

After a moment, Xiao Ningyun looked down and asked, "Little Hou, do you want to buy that egg down there?"

Little Hou nodded excitedly at Xiao Ningyun, indicating that he wanted to buy her.

Hua Ruoxi and Yue Lianshuang looked at Xiao Ningyun with blank expressions, not understanding why she was talking to the little demon beast in her arms.

"Sister Ruoxi, I want to buy the egg on the bottom," Xiao Ningyun said, looking up.

"Egg? Ning Qin Chuan, that thing down there is called Origin Stone, not an egg," Hua Ruoxi corrected.

"It's the egg! Please buy it for me..." Xiao Ningyun insisted.

"Uh... Master Ning, I... I don't have that many spirit stones with me right now." Hua Ruoxi was a little embarrassed, and a blush rose on her face.

"I have some!" Xiao Ningyun took out a large pile of top-grade spirit stones from her storage ring, then took out three Xuanling Fruits, handing one to Hua Ruoxi and one to Yue Lianshuang, and asked, "Is this enough? If not, I have many more here."

"Enough...enough! This huge pile on the ground is all top-grade spirit stones!" Hua Ruoxi and Yue Lianshuang were both shocked.

"Alright, let's eat the spirit fruit together. The fruit here doesn't taste good at all," Xiao Ningyun said.

Hua Ruoxi had seen the Xuanling Fruit within the sect and was able to remain calm. However, Yue Lianshuang, seeing the immense spiritual energy contained within the Xuanling Fruit, was extremely excited and quickly expressed her gratitude: "Thank you so much for the gift, Instructor Ning!"

At this moment, inside the auction venue,

"I'll offer 1.5 million low-grade spirit stones!" A voice came from a private room on the second floor.

"Two million low-grade spirit stones!" Another private room immediately followed suit with its price.

At that moment, a bid came from VIP room number nine on the third floor: "Five million low-grade spirit stones!"

"What? Five million?" The cultivators from the smaller factions on the first floor immediately erupted in commotion. "The second floor only reported two million, and now it's increased to three million! The resources of these major factions are truly terrifying!"

"Ten million!" Hua Ruoxi's voice came from VIP room number one.

"What? Ten million?" Everyone looked at the number one private room on the third floor in shock.

"Who's sitting in VIP room number one? They're incredibly extravagant! Someone else just asked for five million, and they immediately doubled it to ten million!"

"If I had ten million low-grade spirit stones, I'd just lie down and relax!"

"Fellow Daoist, stop daydreaming and just enjoy the show!"

Just then, a voice came from room number nine on the third floor, where the bid had just been five million: "Interesting... fifteen million!"

"Twenty million!" Before the words from room number nine had even faded, a new bid came from room number one.

At this moment, the person in room number nine said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist in room number one, I am from the Great Qi Dynasty of the Central Continent. I really like this source stone, and I hope you can part with it."

Upon hearing the words "Great Qi Dynasty," Hua Ruoxi's anger flared even more, and she retorted directly, "So, are you threatening me?"

"Fellow Daoist, I did not mean that. If you insist on interpreting it that way, then there's nothing I can do. If you say so, then so be it! Twenty-two million."

"Thirty million!" Almost the instant the other party finished speaking, the number one private room quoted a new price.

"Very good. I hope you can successfully bring this source stone out of Wanfa City. I'll give you this source stone." The voice from room number nine carried a hint of barely perceptible coldness.

Liu Yiyi glanced at the direction of private room number nine, a cold smile playing on her lips, thinking to herself: I hope you don't do anything stupid!

Thirty million for the first time...

Thirty million for the second time...

Is anyone else bidding?

Thirty million for the third time, sold! Congratulations to Room 1 for successfully acquiring this source stone.
